All signs are pointing to Chad Billingsley and the Dodgers agreeing on a three-year contract extension that will pay the right-handed pitcher in excess of $30 million through at least 2014 while delaying his free agency by two years.

Nothing was official Monday before the Dodgers opened a two-game Freeway Series with a 5-4 loss against the Angels at Dodger Stadium, with Billingsley just saying he and the Dodgers remain in negotiations.
